[kleggo 145]

I've been to Mollala and "Ask Ralph (for my second 1st jump).

but

decades ago.

Where do you like for mellow good vibes and safe airplanes (not much tandem activity a plus).

Thanks

Hi Kleggo,

Skydive Oregon

IMO more fun would be at:  PNW Skydiving Center | Skydiving Portland, Oregon

But, my friends who fun jump there say it is a little difficult to get onto fun loads due to the tandems filling the slots.

Contact both & see what they tell you.

Both have good, turbine aircraft.

Skydive Oregon.  They have two very, very nice Caravans.  Capacity for fun jumpers is not a problem.

Thanks for the feedback.

Was just in Eugene / Corvalis area.

I stopped@ Skydive Eugene, since on the way home.

Very friendly people, but tandem focus and 182s = a no go.

Jerry, thanks for the PM.

 

Be well.

Hi Kleggo,

Last summer I gave my Carabella, that I bought in 1974, to the neighbor kid who mows my lawn.  Hopefully, he will get some good miles out of it.

For me, nothing beats a lugged, steel frame bike.  I'm envious of your collection.

I can see kleggo kneeling in the road, fingers stroking his chin, checking conditions, temperature, winds, choosing his bike the way a pro golfer chooses his club. Ha!

 

I remember when he would ride his bike over the Ortegas from Pendleton to Perris.

Funny stuff my friend, but it was El Toro to Perris. I was an air wing marine, not a ground pounder. Be well.

That's right, I stand corrected. Actually, after I wrote that, I figured you'd correct it by saying  "...and back".
